Hearty Kimchee Soup Food

KIMCHI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high; add scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring often, until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Add broth, soy sauce, and gochujang; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and add tofu and kimchi, stirring once, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Korean chives, if desired.

KIMCHI JJIGAE (KIMCHI STEW)

Steps:

• Cut the kimchi into bite size pieces.
• Cut the meat into bite sizes. Slice the tofu (about 1/2-inch thick), and roughly chop the scallions.
• Heat a small to medium pot with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the kimchi, pork, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook over medium high heat until the kimchi is softened and the pork cooks through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the kimchi juice and about 2 to 2.5 cups of water (or broth). Bring it to a boil, and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium, and boil, covered, for about 15 minutes. You can add more water if necessary.
• Drop the tofu and scallions in. Salt (or soup or regular soy sauce) and pepper to taste. (Salt is usually not necessary, unless kimchi was lightly seasoned or kimchi juice is not available.) Boil until the tofu is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve while bubbling over from the heat.

THE CLASSIC, KIMCHI JJIGAE

Steps:

• Marinate the pork belly with the rice wine and the ground black pepper for about 15 mins.
• Cook the Kimchi in a skillet until soft. (You could do this in the pot where you will make this jjigae. Do this only if the pot is big enough to manoeuvre around.)
• Put the marinated meat into the bottom of the pot. Add all the other ingredients (kimchi, onion, mushrooms, tofu, water and the base sauce) except for green onion into the pot.
• Boil the pot on medium high heat initially then reduce the heat to medium once it starts boiling. Cook further until the meat is cooked. (It takes 10 to 15 mins from the beginning of step 4.) Make sure the sauce is well blended into the rest of the ingredients. (This can be done by gently mixing the sauce around the soup with a small teaspoon and splashing the soup over other ingredients every now then). When the meat is cooked, add the green onion and turn the heat off.
• Serve with rice (and other side dishes).

KIMCHI NOODLE SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• If using dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them overnight or soak in a bowl boiling hot water then cover for 5 minutes. Slice the rehydrated mushrooms into small 1/2-inch thick pieces. Don't discard the mushroom water! You can mix that in the soup base later on.
• Heat a medium sized pot over medium. Add in the sesame oil. Sauté the vegan kimchi for 2 minutes. Add in the vegetable broth or water. Add in the garlic, mushrooms, soy sauce, miso paste, gochujang, and salt, to taste.
• Cover the pot and leave to boil over medium heat, around 5 minutes. Once the soup boils, add in the enoki mushrooms or other mushrooms (if using), bokchoy or other leafy greens, and dumplings.
• Cook the veggies and potstickers for a few minutes until cooked through. The dumplings will float once cooked. You can remove the veggies and dumplings from the pot to avoid from overcooking and place then place them in a bowl while you cook the noodles.
• Place the noodles in the soup and cook until still very chewy to avoid overcooking, usually 2-3 minutes less than package instructions, since it'll continue to cook in the hot soup later.
• Once the noodles are still very chewy, turn off the heat. Transfer the soup and noodles into a bowl with the veggies and dumplings.
• Top with some sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Enjoy your bowl immediately, while still hot! You can also enjoy this with more kimchi on the side.

HEARTY ITALIAN CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the onions begin to soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, tie the parsley sprigs, lemon zest, and fennel tops together. Add the herb bundle, broth, 2 cups of water, and, if using, the cheese rind. Bring to a very gentle simmer and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle.

• 2. Meanwhile, add the sliced fennel, carrots, and celery to the broth and season with salt, to taste. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 5 minutes.
